Compliance if there are no fixtures on the design

Hi,
The Owner is constructing a tower with high end tenants on the his scope. He wants to leave to the tenant the installation of the water fixtures to give them freedon on the design according their tastes. The core and common spaces have not restrooms considered. My question is:
To comply with the Prerrequisite, perhaps I could have some restrictions and requirements on the lease agreement. But how would be possible to comply with this credit is I cannot foresee the potential savings? moreover, how can I use the synergies that this credit has with the WEc2? Is it possible to have compliance on these credits with these conditions?

Perhaps you could provide a list of approved fixtures (based on flush / flow rates) that meet the credit requirements? Therefore, tenants would have some options they can choose from but would they all would still fall within the water use reduction goals for the project.

How do you calculate Transient visitors?

I can not figure out how to calculate this for a core and shell office building that is 3/4 leased.

You could do some kind of survey of the tenants.

Sound tough? You're going to love this suggestion: check CS Appendix 1 in the LEED Reference Guide for default occupancy numbers!
